Escape

Escape

I shut out the  dark cloud of words 

circling like birds above my head        

reverberating penetrating piercing        

swords, causing injury by harsh

 sounds  cruel intent                                       

Silence  now my best defence          

this no time to mount              

a counterarguement

it will only cause offence

 I need to save my sanity                     

 in serenity                                             

Face and body language neutral

I am floating in a bubble

roaming in the soft resonance     

of  my internal space,well developed

from countless assaults

I release calmness         

focus on the harmless sounds 

of the house those

small comforting noises

welcome in the dark of the 

night or the eye of the storm 

My spirit is  not broken

I will survive anger without blows

I am wrapped in my tranquility

my submission is just remission      

Until I can escape
